An Israeli beauty queen who served as a frontline soldier was slammed as a “war criminal” in New York City while urging passersby to have “peaceful conversations” about Gaza, according to footage of the “social experiment.”

Miss Israel Noa Cochva teared up on Instagram after she was repeatedly blasted with anti-Israel vitriol while carrying a sign reading, “I am an [Israel Defense Forces] soldier. Ask me anything” in the protester-packed Washington Square Park Monday.

“You’re a war criminal,” one man growled, according to video on Instagram.

An observer then calls her a “little Zionist”  as another snaps,  “How do you sleep at night?”

Cochva, 25, fired back: “I sleep really well because I know I’m on the right side of history.”

Cochva, who was crowned Miss Israel in 2021, served on the frontlines of the Israel-Hamas war as a combat medic.

She claimed to be carrying the sign to conduct a “social experiment” to see if folks were “willing to have a meaningful conversation” about the war.

“This is stupid, y’all should go home,” a fourth onlooker blasted.

“I don’t think there can be peace now,” another said.

She later posted footage of her reaction to the heated criticism.

“The amount of hate that people had for me today … I was just trying to have peaceful conversations with them,” she said in tears.

During the stunt, other passersby praised her saying, “I just want to thank you” and “I’m with your people.”

An American military officer also stopped to chat with her about the sense of purpose she gained from serving her country.

On March 30, Cochva was smashed in the face with the butt of a protest placard at an anti-Israel rally in Times Square.

The scuffle left her with a black eye but she ultimately decided not to press charges.

Cochva didn’t immediately return The Post’s request for comment.
